- This is basically a selection of clips from Radiohead's 1998 Documentary, 'Meeting People is Easy' which focused on Radiohead's difficulty to deal with the tedium of 'rockstardom'.
At this time, Thom Yorke was near breaking-point and also suffered depression, as is clearly evident in this video.

2:33 I love the band's support towards Thom's mistakes "No Thom it was fine, Thom it was good"
Julius Caesar yeah made me smile
Honestly, I'm a bit annoyed with all these "Such whiners" comments. The fact that they became succesful band in a very short period of time, doesn't mean that they automatically had to become happy lads. Ironically, MPiE shows that this point of view is very far from truth. Sucess doesn't make you happy in this business. It makes you dull, depressed and apathic or melancholic. Cause soon you realize the only good moments are concerts. And apart from them you're touring, you have dumb duties your record label put on you, you have to talk with hundreds of journalists who ask you same exact questions, you're percieved through prism of a one song you actually hate at the moment, you're arguing with your friends who can become enemies and your "dream job" goes to shit if you don't watch your tongue. And on top of that with every day you're more certain that nobody understands you or what you say through your art. And all the media watch your every little smirk, anger, laugh, mistake. Yeah, fucking great experience, no doubt.
I think the issues is there's a rising number of Fame-Hungry Wannabes, or at least that mind-set. These people would love to be famous on the strength of "one song", or "one gimmick" and then they'd milk it for everything it's worth. If they can't make it as musicians, they'll get into TV Presenting. Or appearing in Soap Operas or other Acting Gigs. Anything to hold onto the fame. So they don't understand why Thom is complaining.
Well they certainly shouldn't whine so much after being one of the greatest bands ever. There are other great bands who are not at all whiny and are very good at what they do.
@@prakharpant1711 The thing is that some people are into the showbiz aspect of the music industry and others aren't. The members of Radiohead (especially Thom) are a group of pretty mellow guys that don't necessarily want to be put up on this fame pedestal with all the extra baggage that comes with becoming a sensation almost overnight. They just want to make music and share it with the people who like it.
prakhar pant ok but they’re not Radiohead. Let them do what they do and be so thankful that they put out the most amazing music.
@@childofthesun32 you see that, especially on more sensitive people. This is the people that suffer morr in this business. Especially in music industry. See Chris Cornell. See Kurt Cobain, See Layne Staley. Soundgarden and Radiohead don't have so much differences in their stories. Except that Soundgarden had broken up in 97. But they start both suffer from success.
Someone give the guy a hug
I would if I could
I feel like How To Disappear Completely and Life In A Glasshouse summarize this time period for the band very well.
How I love that there are people like Thom Yorke in the music industry. His shy and emotional person seems so genuine and gifted, compared to all those people who's in the industry because of their looks or their bloated self-esteem.
Thom is trying to talk to Johnny and Ed about how he feels is hard to stomach. He's so close to a complete mental break-down it's painful to watch it and see the pain of anxiety, confusion, and anger in his face. I've been somewhere similar and it sucks. You spend your time trying to figure out the point to everything. I think it's a process everyone goes through at time, but it shouldn't come with all this attention and fame. That must have been hard. Everyone comes out a better person though.
dude, you're playing fine for Chelsea, keep it up!
Ed also had depression during this time.
@@syrup- Office romance
@@normanfckrockwell Office Romance :)
How terrible it must've been to be going through a depressive episode, or breakdown or whatever, and have to do interviews, photoshoots and be expected to live up to people's image of you or be amusing and interesting. I've been through something similar and I could just be alone and get through it. This movie always makes me so happy that I'm not famous, and so glad that they survived this and seem to be much happier.
poor little guy. I'd ask to give him a hug. I'm glad he's been doing so much better recently, although with the passing of dr. owen and his silence on any media I'm a little worried. I hope he ends up okay
Now that It’s been 3 years since your comment, it’s safe to say he’s doing better;)
Mrs Thom Yorke I predict he ends up ok and makes even more music that is beloved by his tribe
When you just wanna cuddle Thom 😭
I watch this and its so sad to see my music heroes locked in this horror of fame and record company bullshit. But then at the same time, I'm so glad cause they are so happy now. They broke free and got out on the other side to tell about it.
The way Thom was at this point, he could've easily killed himself or died. Just so glad they made it through.
I have to be honest though without this experience, none of their later albums would be as good as they are or they might not even exist. Kid A was just their complete middle finger to the manipulative music industry for how they torture ok computer's promotion period. Kid A is insanely awesome and i don't think it would be like this without that experience.
Imagine being an introvert , basically hating being in the spotlight and suddenly become famous , i'm an introvert myself and i honestly wouldnt be able to handle it , i don't know Thom personally OFC , but i think i can relate , must suck to be in that position ...
these clips honestly hurt me so much. i couldn't even imagine what it would be like to go through life at near breaking point, but in the public eye. it must be so wearing, so heavy on the soul.
it's only now, twenty four years into the future, that you are actually able to feel more at peace while watching these clips-knowing that they're safe and knowing how much better they're all doing now, especially thom.
i thank the world for eventually having mercy on him, i don't know what i'd do if he wasn't still here. i genuinely believe he's one of the most brilliant people to ever walk the earth. radiohead saved my life :')
If only I had the confidence to share my music with the world to express my anguish like he did. I avoid most people because I can't deal with it. I've dealt with Toxic Rotten People my Whole life. That might be the root of my depression and anxiety. He was able to put it into marvelous expression. I LOVE THOM, HE HAS BEEN A GIFT TO THIS WORLD.
Just record it and upload it to RUclips. It's pretty easy. Who cares if people don't like it or don't listen to it. There's so many RUclips Musicians out there, that chances are no one will even find you anyway. I know of several RUclips Musicians that are fantastic at their Instrument AND fantastic Song-writers and lyricists and yet they're nowhere. No one has really heard of them. They have hardly any views.
Being good won't necessarily get you anywhere on RUclips and conversely, being bad doesn't mean you won't get popular.
All you can really do is upload your stuff and get it out there, able to reach people all over the world.
ChildOfTheSun32 Thank you.When I get the Confidence and am no longer Depressed.
ChildOfTheSun32 can you suggest some, I wanna support them
Toxic Rotten People, sounds like a good band name
this video makes me cry.
"Sad moments" This should just be the whole documentary lol
You missed the entire film.
This thing was so damn depressing
I just love these guys, their music and how they think about the media.
They dont want to be the best selling artist, they want to be the Favourite band of any person that lets them stick in their heart.
This is one of the most impressive documentaries I have ever seen.
Wow... he's changed a lot! I saw a video of him joking around with the crowd during a show in the Hail to the Thief tour, and he seems much happier now.
@sweeetra3 Thom is lucky he never found heroin or some other crap. That would have been the start of the end
He could but he didn't, because he was strong enough
People who think they are whinners probably aren't introverts so they don't understand Thom and probably didn't watch this whole thing cause it's a great look into how awful fame can be.
The same thing happened to Nirvana. And all that sudden fame overwhelmed them...
I love that despite everything thom was going through his mates rallied behind him. It reminds me of REM and their attitude of camaraderie and mutual respect.
man, I always feel so bad about that scene at 0:20
Im really glad that he got up from those deep waters :) Their music got to whole new level ;))
This documentary did a great job at creating a disorienting feel that I bet the band members felt when they got a huge wave of fame
This whole documentary is pretty fucking depressing. I'm not one of those ignorantly blissful people, and I like Radiohead, but it's the truth.
Sometimes I want to hugged all of them
aw no this is so sad
poor thom :'(
Thanks for putting this together. Some of the most moving, revealing moments in this documentary, for sure.
Thank you for uploading this. It's really emotional :( I'm going to buy the DVD, this has moved me a lot.
Awww, you're very welcome for the Grammy, Thom.
they're a family :')
Wow this video is so well edited
@daredate i believe he says "I fucked it up, I hate these things."
to which everyone says, "It's fine. That was good."
0:46 The exact moment where Thom resolved to drop Creep from the setlist forever.
This is a damn nightmare. Anyone that wants fame and then relishes in it is a disturbed person. No wonder this band struggled with it.
city after cityyyyyyyyy granite gray as morninngggg
Poor Thom... :(
yo when is radiohead funny mometns dropping
im crying rn
0:39 jerma so mean
well thanks for this now I.. kinda get it but now you own us one of the good moments!!! byee
the comments on this video are a bit strange considering the fact that Thom Yorke got through it... he's fine now isn't he?
wait so he was just trying to get into a club and these guys kicked him out and started yelling at him?
Some people just don't enjoy the spotlight, yet they can't get out of it. While most people would be thankful for the position Radiohead got, it wasn't what they wanted.
Lukease they wanted to be known for their music unfortunately this was the 90s and one hit wonders were everywhere so after creep and before OK Computer they were classified by many as that. Creep took over Radiohead and they became tired of it considering they had many other great songs at the time but not many people cared and just came to the concerts to listen to that song and would leave as soon as the song was over. After the release of OK Computer Thom was hoping to break the mold of being a one song band but they didn't expect how big that album would become in such a short span of time and Thom wasn't ready for that kind of fame yet, he was hoping to catch a break afterwards since they had already done a 16 month tour promoting the albums release but instead was forced to do interviews and more tours which eventually got to Thom.
thanks
thommm :'(
that little guy on the wondow=im not here this isnt happening
>implying constantly making new music is not working
this is so sad I can't watch.. dammit this is fucked up world
damn.
When I think it's Thom that gets rejected from the club, is it Thom that says "Oh pretty funny man"? Am I hearing him say something to the bouncer?
No he says "dont wanna put you off" and walks away but im confused by the whole thing. He was trying to get into a club? Why haha, thought he was introverted. They rejected him? And shit on him as he's leaving? Why, like I must be missing something haha
@@12guitario12 No real reason, they were just being complete pricks.
@@12guitario12”Sorry, I don’t want to put you out.” *
Lol why am I crying
I think he really doesnt want to hang out or to be involved with those fake peoples around him, thus making him "outcast". well. you're not alone sir. ;)
No, it doesn't have something to do with it "most of the time." How many separate nations have you lived in for an extended period of time? How many different cultures have you experienced? How much do you really know about the States to make that sort of broad judgment?
i had this video on VHS, but where can i find it on the internet plz?
9 years late but it’s in the Ok Computer section on the Radiohead public library, on their website
@rut8888 Yes, Americans are the only people on the planet that have ever been made drunken derogatory comments and mentioning he was American was totally necessary and relevant.
@antigrav118 Most of the times it has something to do. Not all the times though.
Too much Thom.
0:21 can some one pls explain to me what happens here?
I’ve watched the documentary twice but i still don’t get it
I think he was just tying to get into a club and was rejected, I found it a bit confusing as well
@@jandcstopmotion7774 thank youuu
Can someone explain what happens at 0:20 I'm confused, please
+Jaffar - Thom and Grant Gee (film director) and a few other people show up to a club for an afterparty; bouncer doesn't recognize them and doesn't remember there being an afterparty for Radiohead scheduled, so leaves them on the other side of the ropes while loudly asking around if Radiohead is supposed to be let in... so Thom says 'Didn't mean to put you out', and they leave. Other guy working for the club comes out, says 'write a song about this, right now' and yells 'Creep' and 'Dickhead' at them, which are titles of old Radiohead songs but are also mean things to yell at someone you just disrespected. Its a bizarre moment, one of many that Grant Gee captured for this documentary about how tough the OK Computer tour and fame was on Radiohead.
Such a shitty moment. There was no reason at all for it.
is this the darkside if rockstardom...or fame altogether? :(
both, this is what happens when you push a band to their breaking point and tell them to keep pushing
What's the song that plays at 1:00??
Scott Walker - On Your Own Again
which song at 4.11?
what he says at 2:33?
Whats the song at 03:57
4:54 "naive" backwards
evian it's one of the most famous water brands in the world haha
I agree to some extent, but some people do just well with fame, and those are the people who don't abuse it. I think everyone has problems, really.
Separate nations I lived in: 7
Different cultures: Don't know, but probably 10.
How much do I know about the states? Well I lived 10 years there. I was under the massive cultural and politic influence the states so gladly apply to the rest of the world, so I'd say I'm pretty much aware of the states MO. The constant fact that people there refers to the states as the world mixed with ignorance of the foreign and arrogance makes most people say things like that. Most of the time in pure innocence.
why are you greentexting out of 4chan
not all american are like that. i hate when people say that american are like that as a whole to me its all about how you were raised.
which song was playing at 3:53?? I'm sure it's not "I will"
It it! An early demo
radio cax
3:52 what is the song ?
It sounds to me like a cut (or maybe demo) version of "I will", from hail to the thief album
Most are saying it's 'I Will' but I think it's probably a live version because I don't recognise it
yeah it can be a live version too, but i'm really sure it's I Will hahaha
MurielDantas yeah probably a demo made around ok computer or kid a, used as background music and then found when they needed ideas
He's not depressed. He's just Thom.
@rahoowe no just sleepy
not everyone is as simple as you
k
Such a typical American comment.
aaaaaaand I wonder how depressed they would've been if they hadn't beome rockstars.......? They are blessed....
actually thats a perfect example of an average american.
Since when is depression cute...
Its not
hahahahahahahahahahahaha
It must be so miserable to do what you love to do (write and play music) and get paid well for it. The boys should have applied to be janitors or fast food workers and play cover tunes in the pubs on Friday nights.
He had depression you know
I don't think you under stand that no matter what you do in life you're going to be disappointed about anything. I don't think you understand how tedious the music process can be.
+earinsound I can definitely see where you're coming from. Wah, wah, wah. I've got money I'm depressed.
But you've got to understand that ironically enough, Radiohead didn't expect to reach such a level of fame in a few months. To make matters worse, they aren't the most socially accessible guys. On top of this, no one gave a shit about any of their songs except Creep, which they had been playing to death endlessly since 1993. Four years of the same song, no breaks.
But still, I can see where you're coming from, wah wah I've got money, how depressing I have to automatically be happy.
i worked several months as a butcher in supermarket, and it was tought
Yeah, earinsound, I think you're missing what was going on with Thom. The guy was depressed, the guy had social problems, at least, possibly even mental health issues. It's not about being rich. It's about all that attention and pressure. The weight of expectation.
You know, after watching this and then Nick Vujicic videos, right now I'm like "God, these guys are such crybabies!"
+fenryx0 crybabies about being good looking, talent and wealthy
I can definitely see where you're coming from. Wah, wah, wah. I've got money I'm depressed.
But you've got to understand that ironically enough, Radiohead didn't expect to reach such a level of fame in a few months. To make matters worse, they aren't the *most* socially accessible guys.

Pasty White Boy Socially accessible guys. Most sugarcoated phrase I've eve heard.
LOL. I'd say BIG TIME socially inept/socially disabled, but whatever floats your boat.
+fenryx0 eh, I guess.
then tell me what are they about??? because i know there not religious, and theyre definitely not into saving the world, because i havent heard about them making any investments into anything like that(i may be wrong). and thom yorke doesnt seem like the kind of person who cares about other people, so tell me what is it that they could be about?? why does anyone do the things they do if not for money, to get laid, and relax and do the things they love to do. there not Buddha.
This video should be called : "how to be a whiner 101"
+fenryx0 crybabies about being good looking, talent and wealthy, and we normal people ugly and unemployed never whiner about ourselves
+pedro faria you guys clearly don't understand what they went through at this time
Woodsy Owl They went through a lot of things that most SUCCESSFUL bands go through. They are the most successful band today. No other band compares, but they really didn't go through nothing special.
fenryx0 they never expected to become as famous as they did, people would go to their concerts and wait for them to play creep then leave, they are all kind of socially awkward (especially thom), they were also given a lot of shit because everyone thought they would be one hit wonders, all of that can lead to some pretty deep depression
Woodsy Owl Yeah but nowadays people know better, creep shouldn't be played live anymore. IMO Thom has matured a lot since In Rainbows.
